Web review

To fulfill this requirement, you must actually a paper consisting of a comparison and contrasting of two (2) websites. You must spend a few hours surfing the web looking for two websites on the same topic
related to psychology.
For example: Schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, brain development in early childhood, motivating employees, prejudice…there are many possibilities!
The review is to be typed, double-spaced and from 3 ? 4 pages combined least in length. Please remember that the paper is the evaluation of the two sites and the comparison. All I need by midterm (5/16) is
the name and address of your sites. Submit the assignment by email. I can accept: WORD, WORKS, WORD PERFECT, OPEN OFFICE and faxed documents as a last resort.
You should submit by email the URLs of your two chosen sites by 5/16. On this date the URLs ONLY are due and not the final paper. The final version of the review paper due at the end of the term must
include the following elements:
1. URL and date of your visit.
2. Name of individual, corporation, institution or school who created and maintains the site.
3. An appraisal of the format in which the material is presented at the site (easy to read, good illustrations etc.) Feel free to compare your two sites – If a friend were seeking information on this topic, would
you recommend one over the other? Both? Neither?
4. Three things you learned from visiting the site. If you didn?t think the site was very good, give three reasons why you formed this opinion.
5. Refer to the links on website evaluation for further tips on doing a good website review.
6. To find a psychology website, you can utilize a general search engine such as Google, or Alta Vista, or you can use a psychology search tool such as PsycInfo. Type in a search term ?depression;? ?drug
addiction? or the psychology topic of your choice.
